Lever Pulley Reprap - Frame Complete
Well, after a few weeks of waiting for everything to come together, we have finally finished the frame of the 3D printer. The width of the frame ended up being about 396 mm, or 15 and a half inches. At the widest point (the two rods on top) it is about 22 inches. The rods are threaded zinc, with a diameter of 5/16 inches. The nuts used were also zinc, as well as the washers.
The rods used for the A-sides were 370mm long (14.5 inches), and the four rods on the bottom (2 in front, 2 in the back) were 15.5 inches. Other things we used were a couple ball bearings, some washers, and of course, the plastic pieces.
